Between Memory and Possession: A House Divided
In 1961 Netherlands, Isabel den Brave has crafted a life of meticulous solitude in her family's countryside home. Following her mother's death years earlier, she's transformed the house into a sanctuary where every object is preserved with obsessive care. Her carefully ordered existence shatters when her brother Louis brings home his new girlfriend Eva-a woman whose presence immediately unsettles Isabel. There's something about Eva's confidence that disrupts Isabel's carefully maintained control, triggering both irritation and an inexplicable curiosity. The tension between them escalates when Louis announces he must attend a conference and wants Eva to stay at Isabel's house. "It's my house," Isabel protests, but reluctantly agrees when Louis reminds her that technically their Uncle Karel promised the house to him. Eva's arrival marks the beginning of strange disappearances-a spoon, a cake knife, decorative tiles-prompting Isabel to create detailed inventory lists of every household item. Is Eva stealing from her, or is Isabel's paranoia growing unchecked? The question lingers as the two women circle each other in the confined space of the house, their interactions charged with suspicion and something else neither can quite name.
